Why can't this be built as a module?

Please write a normal if statement, the ternery operator doesn't help
legibility.

That seems wrong, or at least something that should be separate?
Previously we needed interrupts for DMA operation but now we enable
interrupts only if we don't use DMA.  It feels like we want to make the
change for DMA separately if only to make it clear for bisection, are we
100% sure that masking the interrupt won't also mask the DMA request
signals?

This also seems wrong.  We're forcing PIO if an interrupt is provided
rather than based on DMA being configured which means that if the
interrupt is wired up and happens to be described in DT we'll get worse
performance.  People should be able to just describe the system without
worrying about this, and we might find some other use for the interrupts
in future.  Indeed right now it would probably be reasonable to use the
error interrupts all the time if they're available.
